Jeep Renegade Recalls (2015-2023)
The Jeep Renegade has been the subject of 13 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2015 to 2023 model years. They cluster mostly around the electrical system, air bags, and exterior lighting.
The Jeep Renegade scores 70 out of 100 (grade B), a better-than-average recall record. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 77% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 15% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 13 campaigns span 9 model years of the Jeep Renegade. The single largest affected 337,128 vehicles, over air bags. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Renegade problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Jeep Renegade may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.

Defect: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain model year 2015 Jeep Renegade vehicles manufactured September 18, 2014, to June 25, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with radios that have software vulnerabilities that can allow third-party access to certain networked vehicle control systems.

Remedy: Chrysler will notify and mail affected owners a USB drive that includes a software update that eliminates the vulnerability, free of charge. Optionally, owners may download the update to their own USB drive from http://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/ or take their vehicle to a Chrysler dealer for immediate installation. In an effort to mitigate the effects of this security vulnerability, Chrysler has had the wireless service provider close the open cellular connection to the vehicle that provided unauthorized access to the vehicle network.
